Gangs have become increasingly more violent over time and have increased their drug activity and other illegal activities to support themselves and to help recruit new gang members, often from U.S. middle and high schools. In this scenario, you have been asked to begin a gang initiative within a community that has suffered an increase in gang activity over time.
Your police department closely follows the community policing paradigm, meaning that it has realized the importance of working with the community as a whole to resolve long-term problems that have often stymied efforts led only by the police in the past. Recently, one of these community groups came to you, the Police Chief, and asked that you respond to what it feels is an increasingly dangerous gang problem in the community. There have been several serious incidents of violence and drive-by shootings, along with an increase in drug traffic and attempts to gain new gang members in the local middle and high schools.
You recognize that increasing patrols and arrests in the area will only solve the problem short term or perhaps just displace the problem, so you want to seek a more long-term solution.
Several initiatives that will assist in rectifying the problems, including the following:
Educational initiatives
Local initiatives
